Gilles commented on MATH-1370:
------------------------------
bq. It would therefore break the added test on L47.
Something is not clear, since the unit passes, with my version too.
> Increase efficiency of EnumeratedDistribution#probability
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MATH-1370
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1370
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Gaffney
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch, performance
> Attachments: enum-distribution-perf-patch

>
> There are lots of other low hanging fruit in the distribution package but
> unfortunately this is the only one I got to that day.
> In the EnumeratedDistribution case, the probability() method is currently
> O(N) where N denotes number of random variables, even though the random
> variables are fixed / known. This change makes probability() O(1). The
> unlikely worst case scenario now consumes slightly more than 2x the memory,
> but I do not think this would be an issue in the vast majority of cases.
> Original PR (incorrectly against master)
